Abstract: A machine learning system builds and uses computer models for controlling robotic performance of a task. Such computer models may be first trained using feedback on computer simulations of the robotic system performing the task, and then refined using feedback on real-world trials of the robot performing the task. Some examples of the computer models can be trained to automatically evaluate robotic task performance and provide the feedback. This feedback can be used by a machine learning system, for example an evolution strategies system or reinforcement learning system, to generate and refine the controller.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically generating a program based on a natural language utterance using semantic parsing. The semantic parsing includes translating a natural language utterance into instructions in a logical form for execution. The methods use a pre-trained natural language model and generate a canonical utterance as an intermediate form before generating the logical form. The natural language model may be an auto-regressive natural language model with a transformer to paraphrase a sequence of words or tokens in the natural language utterance. The methods generate a prompt including exemplar input/output pairs as a few-shot learning technique for the natural language model to predict words or tokens. The methods further use constrained decoding to determine a canonical utterance, iteratively selecting sequence of words as predicted by the model against rules for canonical utterances. The methods generate a program based on the canonical utterance for execution in an application.

Abstract: In response to a programmatic interaction, respective representations of items of an initial result set are presented to an item consumer. One or more result refinement iterations are then conducted. In a given iteration, one or more feedback indicators with respect to one or more items are identified, a machine learning model is trained using at least the feedback indicators to generate respective result set candidacy metrics for at least some items, and the metrics are then used to transmit additional items for presentation to the item consumer.

Abstract: A machine learning system builds and uses computer models for identifying how to evaluate the level of success reflected in a recorded observation of a task. Such computer models may be used to generate a policy for controlling a robotic system performing the task. The computer models can also be used to evaluate robotic task performance and provide feedback for recalibrating the robotic control policy.
